This slide show is believe to have been narrated by researcher, Carol Barrett as an outgrowth of her work to document the historic structures of the City of Eagle Point. Unlike many local histories, Barrett acknowledges the native peoples who were the earliest inhabitants of the region and the conflicts that occurred when two donation land claims were assigned to Theodoric Todd Cameron and J.J. Fryer in 1852 and 1853. In 1878, J.J. Fryer subdivided his donation land claim for the City of Eagle Point and platted roads and properties; others soon followed. Eagle Point was incorporated in 1911 with a vote of the electorate.
Barrett traces the history of the City of Eagle Point through those who built domestic and commercial structures and the roads that grew to connect the community and the region. Telephone service began as early as 1907 and electricity powered the town by 1910. She also tells of orchards, railroads and logging and the boom and bust and boom cycles that Eagle Point and all of Southern Oregon has experienced in its early years. Barrett's narrative includes the details of how the City of Eagle Point and the community were involved with Camp White.
